Solutions for Manufacturing and Utilizing Lithium-ion Batteries

摘要

In recent years, the development and diffusion of electric vehicles (EVs) has accelerated. California in the US, China, Europe and other countries have enacted regulations on gasoline vehicles to curb air pollution. Lithium-ion batteries are used as a clean power source for EVs, and contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). After serving as a power source of EVs, automotive lithium-ion batteries are expected to be reused as rechargeable batteries, thus helping to build a recycling-oriented society which Japan is aiming for. This paper introduces a solution for the production of lithium-ion batteries, for which it is considered to be difficult to provide high-performance specifications in terms of both manufacturing and utilization, and solutions to assist the reuse of rechargeable batteries.
